One of the best collegiate pitchers this past season will soon be pitching for the Red Sox organization.
The Boston Red Sox drafted Witherspoon, the University of Oklahoma ace the past two seasons, with the 15th pick in the first round of the 2025 MLB Draft Sunday. Witherspoon is the first Sooner drafted in the first round since the Chicago Cubs drafted Cade Horton in 2022, who is starting in the big leagues this season.
